The City That Never Sleeps...


...In it's attempt to disarm all of America...

"New York Police Department Commissioner Raymond Kelly and Long Island Rep. Peter King renewed their three-year effort for a bill named after two slain NYPD detectives.

King, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, insisted the measure had more momentum than in past years due to added pressure from big city leaders like Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has waged a very public campaign for Congress to enact anti-gun trafficking laws.

King's legislation would create a new federal crime for those who use stolen firearms with obliterated serial numbers during the commission of felonies. Wiping a gun of its serial number is a common practice among gun traffickers.

King conceded it would be a fight to get his bill passed, particularly when the House is more likely to pass legislation Bloomberg has dubbed "god-awful" because it prevents local officials from obtaining aggregate gun trace data. The data could be used in lawsuits against dealers or manufacturers of handguns."

And that, boys and girls, is what it's all about. Sue, sue, and sue some more. Can't stop other states from respecting the 2nd Amendment? Well fine, then sue the manufacturers and gun stores out of existence. Make it so very hard to make or sell a firearm that businesses fall by the wayside rather than deal with yet more paperwork from the government.

The 29? Just a little something to help wash the taste from your mouth after my talking about the cravenous loons.
